SAFIS (Fingerprinting)

In September 2013 Governor Patrick signed into law the requirement for all public school employees to have a one-time national criminal background check as a condition of employment. Unlike CORI, this check will examine criminal activity in all states, including Massachusetts.

Therefore, as a condition of employment with the Wayland Public Schools, employees are required to submit their fingerprints for the national criminal background check. This e-mail will help guide employees through the registration process. All employees should read through the information below and the registration guide before they register for an appointment to have their fingerprints taken.

The fingerprinting process requires two steps. The first step is to register online or call for an appointment to have your fingerprints taken. The second step requires you to go to a location to physically have your fingerprints taken.

There are over 20 locations where you can register to have your fingerprints taken.

While these sites may not be convenient, they offer evening and Saturday appointments as well as during the day.

When you are asked to select from the agency/sector dropdown, please select Pre-K-12th Grade Education (ESE).
